Sex, violence, and the in-between : Bikini beach zombie massacre

Bikini Beach Zombie Massacre was designed as a critique of the tensions between sex and violence in digital games. It was created as a part of the Critical Gameplay project. The project is an ongoing effort to create alternate play experiences that critique the conventions of digital play. The games in the collection are designed to reevaluate player perspective on gameplay experiences. They are offered as social critique demonstrating that conventional play is riddled with its own problems, complications and assumptions. Bikini Beach Zombie Massacre is unique to the 10 game collection in that it relies on conventional mechanics, but unique content. The game contains a collection of sexual images, innuendo and cultural references that are explicitly sophomoric and hyper-masculine.
